[quote=Anonymous]You say "yes" as much as possible. If a child wants to do something, you ask yourself, "why not?" If there is no good reason to say no, say yes. If there is a good reason, you say no, once, and firmly stick to all rules, boundaries, and expectations. No wiggle room, no whining, the decision has been made by you, the authority. You talk early and often about others' feelings and how we contribute to them. When you read "How are you feeling?" To a one-year-old you say, "look, you can tell Goose is sad because he's crying - I bet a hug would make him feel better!" You teach them empathy from Day 1. When it comes to issues of respect and etiquette you hold children to firm expectations with clear and logical consequences. [/quote]
